Thrilling Experience Of supt Royce,

Who was Loaded.

Who was Loaded.
Supt. Royce, of the c.. R l. s. P, was
in Dies Moines the other day, and while
awaiting the arrival of train at the de-
pot a reporter of the Leader tackled him
for an item that would weigh several
pounds. and the information he did not
volunteer or ever yield up under pressure
would fill several volumes with interest
ing material.
There is one fact that looms up in rail
way lite like square meal to fomIshed
tramp, and that is that since the inter
state bill became operative the presence
of Iowa editors in Chicago has become a
rarity, and we are thinking of capturing
one and placing ii in the museum as
Curiosity No, sir; the statement that
the Rock Island intends to cushion its
ties or establish small relay stations near
adjacent hay stacks and convenient hen
roosts along the line is of campaign
origin and exists only in the imagination.

the slightest objection to allowing them
to sit on the fence and watch trains pass,
but there is no general order, nor will
there be one issued restraining the engi-

polishers of wheels, the personal effects,

an editor having money all my life, and,

a dollar before the startled vision of MIR.
Royce. Fifteen minutes vigorous use of
the hose and the application of several
powerful restoratIves brought about a
partial restoration of consciousness, and
the first move he made was to send
inside to tell the cashier to count the
days receipts in the till. prior to calling
policeman. If the amount shown Mr..
Royce had been 500 it is doubtful if he
would ever have recovered, and having
that amount in his jeans, the reporter
fled the scene rather than ieopardize the
superintendent life.

DODGE ON THE TOBACCO CROP.
He Lets Some Light in Upon the Move
ments of the Spectators.


WASHINGTON CITY; Aug. 3-Statistician
Dodge, of the department of agriculture, is
out in card embodying very plain state
ment about the tobacco crop of the country
He says: "As to the present furry: The to-
baceo growers received SO small compensa-
ton for their labor last year that they have
greatly curtailed production. Their product
is in the hands of dealers who are now max
ing hay while the sun shines in a tobacco
boom by which they hope to clear out at
double rates their overwhelmed warehouses,
fill orders for large part of last years con-
sumption, and then scoop in the cured tobac-
co OF the coming crops last winter and
spring at much lower rates than they are
hoping to sell their surplus for. This is the
animus of the wild estimates of next to no to-
bacco crop in 1887 which are now in vogue.
Before Christmas tobacco SPECTATORS will
see a new light, there will be larger area
than they thought, and the yield will be be-
yond expectation, and the market will be
duh and consumers supplied and the whole
situation changed, so that growers will be Of
fered moderate advance on the last years
rates The present boom does not interest
farmers 1t is for the trade, and it will be

market their nov crop.
"A fact as to stocks: On the lst of July
the average stocks on hand in all western
markets for five years--1SSl- 1SS5-was about
Sc, 900 hogsheads. The July average for the
last two years-1SS6- lSSi-was over u, 900
hogsheads, fully double. That explains the
necessity of reduced area on the part of the
farmers, and of desperate effort to boom
prices and get rid of the surplus on the part
of the dealers. The receipts of the last three
years, from January to July, have an aver
age of l54 900 hogsheads, against 10000 for
the four previous years Here lies the milk

AS to our estimates; We made only a
first estimate from incomplete returns Our
special tobacco inquiry is now out, and we
propose to make the investigation thorough

wise. We have no other interest IN the mat

Another Bin Against incl. sam-The
Question Of the Books.
SAN FRANCISCO. Ang. 3 Senator Leland
Stanford was again witness before the Pa
cific railway commission Tuesday The cost
of building the Central Pacific to Ogden, he
said, was SIS 00n per mile, or a total Of SAL
Sy9H0 The aid extended by the govern
ment toward constructing the road was on
the basis Of S4s, $50 per mile, and be thought
this deficiency should he made good, He
was ready 10 use his influence with corpora
tons having dealings with the Central Pa
cific to have their tooks examined, but bis
company had private relations with individ-
uals as a result of competition, and these &C
counts he did not care to lay before the pub
lie He desired that in the examination of
these books matters pertinent to the objects
of the commission should alone be noted, and
that other accounts should lie kept from the
public.
Counsel for the Central Pacific submitted
to the commission at the afternoon session a
proposition in writing with regard to the ex-
animation of the books Of the Central Pacific
and the Western Improvement company.
They will submit them TO the inspection of
the commission, reserving the right to with
hold any portion of the account, not pertinent
to the objects of the inquiry. The commits
sion accepted the offer with the understand
ing that il would be allowed to depute its ac-
countants to examine the hooks, to take ex-
tracts from them if desirable, and that all
papers entered in the United States courts
shall stand over without prejudice.
Before Judge Sawyer, in tine United States

day that I. ID. Douty. secretary of the West
